maidana v. khan rematch (under their new trainers)

[shenmue]

Khan got hit with an overhand right while he was backing up attempting to box, I know your better than that man but you can't be serious with the bolded.

Exactly the point i was making. he did not exchange with Maidana in the centre of the ring like he did with Garcia.

In fact the ropes kept his legs up when Maidana landed that over hand right in the 10th. If that was in the middle of the ring Khan might have been stopped.

[F!x]

khan spanks maidana even worse the second time, maidana would quit boxing after that fight. he got destroyed the first time, the second time his career is over.

It's difficult to pick Khan in his current form, cuz it's almost a guarantee that he'll get stunned at some point. I think Maidana is a better fighter now than he was then, so I would pick him to win.

[flint]

The difference is khan's chin. He can't take a direct shot. Maidana has some serious power.

[LacedUp]

Khan didn't let maidana hurt him in the 10th and he didn't exchange in the Maidana fight like he did in the Garcia fight. (in the middle of the ****ing ring at times, if he did he would have got sparked out IMO)

Khan didn't respect Garcia's power like he did maidana and we saw what happened.

In the Maidana fight Khan was on his bike for the majority., and holding and turning his back whenever Maidana was close to him. terrible referring by Cortez.

Guys, i'm not trying to discredit Maidana at all here. I know he got hit by an overhand right in the tenth, which made him hang on to the ropes after he buckled. I was talking about what happened after that. Khan should have hold on to Maidana like he took his lunch money. Instead, he tried to engage - ****** thing to do against a puncher.

What we saw in the Khan-Maidana fight were two things:

1) Khan has speed and size advantages over Maidana. Talent wise, it's not even close.

2) Khan was extremely vulnerable to the uppercut. Maidana hit him with that all night long.

I like Maidana a lot, and Khan obviously rates him very highly, but if a focused Khan shows up in tip top shape - I don't see Maidana beating him. If the Khan that showed up vs Diaz shows up, then Maidana could take it.

I think Khan is washed and past prime. He was a much better fighter when he beat Maidana. Khan just barely beat Diaz with the referee's help in England. Does anyone think that Diaz is a better fighter or a harder puncher than today's Maidana? Maidana would KO him in a few rounds. I voted to fast and picked Maidana by KO. I should have voted Maidana by obliteration but I missed that option.

[boliodogs]

Sorry, I meant to say Khan is washed up and past prime. He ain't what he used to be. Garcia apparently ruined him. If the Khan of old that beat Maidana and KOed Paulie and Judah comes back he can beat Alexander. I think that Khan is gone forever but we will see in his next fight.

[dan_cov]

Khan is not past his prime, hes the same guy hes always been he just had a little run of looking good against defensive midgets and limited plodders who never had the style or tools to take advantage of his glaring flaws.

[Nicolino]

People here really have double standards if they think Lucas Matthysse is P4P material and at the same time they consider Maidana to be trash. Chino is a lot better than you think, time will tell.

[boliodogs]

Maybe you are right but he seemed like a better fighter two years ago and his chin did not sems as bad as it does now. Either way I have no faith in Khan and would not bet a dime on him against any decent fighter.
